Meet The Staff

Dr. Gibbs graduated from the University of Tennessee's College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013.  She immediately moved to Canada to pursue her veterinary career and joined our team in 2015.  She is particularly interested in neurology, behaviour, nutrition, pain management and exotic companion animals.  She obtained her certification in veterinary acupuncture in 2020 and is happy to provide acupuncture, massage, and laser therapy at Sixteen Mile. She shares her home with four other humans, two cats, a dog, a bearded dragon, and way too many computers. In her spare time, she can be found swimming, walking her dog, watching educational YouTube videos, or playing video games with her family.

Dr. Bilé has grown up loving animals both large and small from a young age. She graduated from the University of Guelph in 2016 with an Honours Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and went on to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with distinction from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2020. Inspired by the human-animal bond, she found her passion in companion animal medicine and has a strong appreciation for the role pets have as members of the family. While she loves all aspects of general practice, her interests reside in ophthalmology and dermatology - she welcomes all the itchy pets! Dr. Bilé lives in Milton with her dogs Theo and Olive, as well as the three-legged cat, Mog. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Bilé enjoys spending her free time hiking, reading, cooking, and growing her collection of houseplants.

Dr. Honda graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1992 and completed a combined medical and surgical Internship at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1993.

Sixteen Mile Veterinary Clinic was then opened in January 2016. Dr. Honda and her husband are proud parents of three sons: Jack, Ben and Joe, and their family is completed by Hana, the Doberman, and Bo, the Labradoodle. Dr. Honda enjoys regular Pilates, yoga and paddle boarding at the cottage and is forever trying to improve her golf game.
